What does it mean to be pardoned in justification?

Answered in 1 source

To be pardoned in justification means our sins are forgiven, and we are declared not guilty before God.

Pardoning in the context of justification refers to God's act of forgiving the sins of His people, as noted in Jeremiah 50:20. This pardon signifies that God does not overlook sin but rather addresses it justly through the sacrifice of Christ, who bore our sins (1 Peter 2:24). Unlike a secular pardon, where guilt remains, God's pardon ensures that we are genuinely considered not guilty because Christ's righteousness is imputed to us. This means that a believer’s sins are completely removed, satisfying God's justice while allowing for mercy to be extended.
